Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Come, Thou long expected Jesus Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our rest in Thee.
Mighty Strength and Consolation, Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver, Born a child and yet a King, Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone;
Worship, honor, glory, blessing, Lord we offer unto Thee.
Shepherds at thine advent worship, In glad homage bend the knee.
Come, thou long expected Jesus, we would bow before thy throne.
As thy servants sing before thee,
so on earth, so on earth thy will be done.
Amen.
